[Full Game] Dragon Fantasy, The full game. Options

Story:
Many years ago a great entity of sin emerged from the darkest depths of the world and tried to cover eveyone and everything in perpetual darkness. Darkness covered the land, causing the seas to rage, the forests to wither and the earth to decay. However, as from where the darkness was born there also came light: Born from the planet it's self came four great crystals of light. This light shone through the darkness and caused the entity of sin to return to the nothingness whence it came. The crystals bore themselves back into the depths of the earth and then began to sleep, protecting all from the darkness of the world. After the darkness had receeded, the light slowly began to return to the world. The people regained hope and begin to rebuild what they had lost.

Now, many years after this incident, the story of the great darkness and the light in which broke it's grasp upon the world has been handed down to the newer generation. As the crystal slowly began to re-awaken, a child was born within the village of Yur. This child bore the sign of a saint and was a token of light for the villagers. Now, in order to test his heart, courage and strength he has been guided into the Crystal Caverns in order to receive the crystal's blessing.




Gameplay:
The gameplay is to be sort of reminicent to old, NES-type RPGs (Dragon Quest/Warrior 2,3 and 4 and Final Fantasy). It has a standard turn-based battle system in which both you and your party exchange blows with the enemy. It uses RPG maker 2000's default battle system and it is front-view. There is indeed no fancy battle animations, and there are only small battle backgrounds in which I think seem to fit more than a black screen.


Maps:
The mapping is supposed to be reminicent to that of NES-type RPG's such as Final fantasy 1-3 and Dragon Quest/Warrior. Nothing is too detailed, nor is it too simplistic. If your looking for the best mapping around, don't come here.

Ha ha. Yeah, Dial-up sucks (no offense. >.>) I hated it when I had it.

But...a bug that SHOULD exist? I don't think there is such a thing. ..>

Bugs actually are quite useful. A poorly designed code can actually lead to ideas to make really cool code.

I had a limit break bug where the thing stayed on. I fixed in, but in the process, I found a way to get the thing to stay on only until the conditions were no longer met (it was a coin-throwing attack, meaning it would keep active until you discarded all of your coins, or until an enemy survived the first hit).

This is what the "it's not a bug, it's a feature" means. Sure, you can spend 100% of your effort fixing every bug, but you'll be really wiped out, and some bugs work better if they're partially fixed, making them instead a part of the code (Cursed Shield in Final Fantasy VI? It was probably a matter of unstable code turning that equip into the next, so the programmers decided to have an evolving item there).
